The Project

In Blocks Mania, players are lost in an island and have to explore it to find key blocks. The Key Blocks are like lego pieces, and by gathering the four different collored Key Blocks, players can assemble a robot, a submarine or an airplane depending on the island, and use them to escape!

Each Island has a different theme, and players can navigate them however they want. So a lot of work went into making sure players were actually able to find the key blocks without making the game jaring (especially since the game is for kids). I used a few different methods to guide players other than using the UI, like using elevation to guide players, as well as specific block types to form “paths” for the player to follow.
